  ABR
  autobaud
  
     <communications> (ABR, autobaud) A process by which a
     receiving device determines the speed, code level, and stop bits
      of incoming data by examining the first character,
     usually a preselected sign-on character.  ABR allows the
     receiving device to accept data from a variety of transmitting
     devices operating at different speeds without needing to
     establish data rates in advance.
